2014

A new year!
I have to say that this year has a much better number.
Look at the number 2014.  Isn't that so much better looking than 2013.
2013 was a tough year.  I guess all years are tough though. Until we get Home.
For 2014 I have set a goal of reading 310 books.  Last year my goal was 300 and I read 306.  310 is daunting, but I gotta try, right?
The other thing I am trying this year is Weight Watchers. My current weight is 338 pounds.
Another goal of mine is to follow the Presbyterian Church (USA) Common Book of Worship's Daily Prayer.  Yeah, there's a APP for that!
I am also going to try this.
During the first week, I am to list seven things for which I am grateful.
So here are my 7 things:
1.  My Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ
2.  My mom
3.  My friends
4.  My jobs
5.  My cats
6.  My home
7.  My car
Now the deal is that you are to demonstrate gratitude for one of those things everyday.  How, how, how can I fully show my gratitude for Jesus Christ?   That is something that I need to do every single day.  But how?  I can start by trying to live as He did while he was here, physically, on earth.  I can also do little things to show others the way to Him.
So 2014 is off and running.
Don't know what it will bring, but I do know, that God will be with us, through it all.

2013 Goals!

First with an easier one, as it is pretty much the only goal I made last year that I met!  I plan to read 300 books in 2013!  Last year I hoped to read 175 and I read 270.  So this year I am going large!
I also want to read 1,000,000 words.  I don't know if I did that last year, but this year I am going to keep track and make it to 1,000,000!
A more serious goal is to try to use Sacred Space every day!  I know I didn't do it last year, but I really want to this year.  So I will try again.  I'm following them on Twitter so maybe that will make it easier!  Ha!
Another thing that I want to do in 2013 is be thankful every day.  Intentionally think of something for which I am thankful.  And I think I will try to post it as well, just to keep myself honest.

The New Year!

Well after a lovely but very calm evening to welcome in the new year, I have concluded that for seriously party people, New Year's Eve is just another night!  Do you really think Steve Perry is whooping it up on New Year's Eve?  Flo Rida?  Snoop?  No way!  They all celebrated like I did.  Quietly, with a friend, watching tv!  I mean, why party on New Year's Eve when your whole life is one big party!
